Airbnb revises house‑rule policy to ban demanding checkout chores

Airbnb has updated its community policy to prohibit hosts from requiring guests to perform checkout chores that would normally be handled by a professional cleaner. The change applies to future reservations. Listings will now include a new “rules and requests” section that highlights any remaining cleaning requests, and hosts must remove or appeal any requests that violate the policy. Hosts may still add requests deemed reasonable, but violations will be flagged by the platform.
